I was pointed to:
Psalms 121. Remember: you sleep while Christ keeps watch.
Remember Luther to Melanchthon, “With your worries, you give weapons to Satan.” Let’s you and I take away his weapons, ay, and then get some good sleep.
As Psalm 23 says, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies", so let's eat, remain steadfast, receive the overflowing joy of the Lord, and watch our Lord conquer the enemy.
